One of the things I’ve missed about the sad SAD (Standard American Diet) is bread. No lie, it’s hard to give up, ya’ll. Think about how many times per week you have toast at breakfast, or a sandwich at lunch, or a biscuit at dinner… it’s mind boggling how much bread...

Just in time for Christmas, these low carb sausage balls are the perfect appetizer or snack for those of us who are trying to avoid all the sugar-laden treats that abound this time of year! After I made them, I found that I like them even better than the doughy,...

So, everywhere I look I’m seeing meatballs that have been made with a small chunk of those individually wrapped cheese sticks tucked in the middle. Now, those sticks are convenient & the Tornado loves them, but there’s such better cheese out there! Namely… ciliegine: fresh, little balls of soft, creamy, smooth...

So, this recipe seems to be all the rage on the interwebs these days, however, most versions call for your typical 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs (or even soaked bread). I love regular meatballs and the thought of cheese stuffed meatballs was more than I could stand. So, I set out to...

Pasta, like bread, is so much better when it’s made by hand, from scratch; this pasta dough recipe delivers. And, if you can find fresh, local eggs (i.e., hatched from chicken a day to a week or so earlier), they make the BEST pasta; it will turn out golden &...

Fresh pasta, like fresh bread, is a pain to make by hand. Literally. The endless kneading. And kneading. And still more kneading. But, boy is it worth it. You end up with a soft, smooth texture with great mouth feel when it’s cooked; firm, delicious, and just right for any kind...
